4 months agoThe Minnesota Twins and outfielder Byron Buxton are progressing towards a one-year, $1.75 million deal on Thursday to avoid salary arbitration, according to sources. Buxton signed a one-year deal last year worth $570,000. The former second overall pick in 2012 teased with his potential at the end of the 2017 season, but 2018 was a disaster, mainly because of injuries. The 25-year-old hit just .156/.183/.200 in 90 at-bats with the Twins and spent most of his time in the minors. Buxton is still young, though, and he should see most of his playing time in the big leagues if he's healthy. He's worth a late-round flier as a post-hype prospect in deep mixed leagues, mainly for his speed.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: 1500 ESPN - Darren Wolfson
